Regulating genetic biohacking

Three legal frameworks for regulating genetic technology.

Consuming Genomics: Regulating Direct-to-Consumer Genetic and Genomic Information

Genetic elements regulating packaging of the Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus genome.

The genome of Bunyamwera virus (BUN; family Bunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus) comprises three segments of negative-sense, single-stranded RNA. The RNA segments are encapsidated by the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein and form panhandle-like structures through interaction of complementary sequences at their 5' and 3' termini. Transcription and replication of a BUN genome analogue (minireplicon)...

Regulating genetic privacy in the online health information era.

As the clinical implications of the genetic components of disease come to be better understood, there is likely to be a significant increase in the volume of genetic information held within clinical records. As patient health care records, in turn, come on-line as part of broader health information networks, there is likely to be considerable pressure in favour of special laws protecting geneti...

Phosphorylation networks regulating JNK activity in diverse genetic backgrounds.

Cellular signaling networks have evolved to enable swift and accurate responses, even in the face of genetic or environmental perturbation. Thus, genetic screens may not identify all the genes that regulate different biological processes. Moreover, although classical screening approaches have succeeded in providing parts lists of the essential components of signaling networks, they typically do...
